well, you have written about this and you have tied this lance armstrong confession with manti te'o. we don't know what the truth is, quite honestly, at this point in his story because he's not come out to talk more about this girlfriend that he claimed he had that never existed but the bottom line is you're saying that this sports story should resonate with some of those lawmakers in d.c. why? >> yeah. let me connect the dots. it starts with your very own poll today, the talk of washington. your poll shows two thirds of the public think it is country's on the wrong track. that's not just a political measure. the underlying fundamental thing is that the public doesn't trust any of its institutions. we think we're let down the leaders. churches, school, police, the military. especially government. so when you have two lead earls of the sports institution at the very least covering up and te'o at the very least covered up this hoax, it just feeds that feeling that we can't trust anybody right now and if voters can't trust washington, if they can't trust their leaders, it is hard to get
